Hi all, it looks like I'm throwing my hat into the blogging ring so we can provide you with more content on the local sporting scene. It comes at a good time, too, because intriguing league races begin this week in prep baseball and it's getting down to crunch time for the El Camino and Harbor community college baseball teams.

Among the more interesting baseball matchups today include Peninsula playing at Palos Verdes in the first of two Battle of the Hill showdowns. Both teams are playing well, with Peninsula (9-5) having won six of its last seven and Palos Verdes (12-3) having won five of its last six.

Down the Hill, a young West Torrance team tries to prove it's still among the elite when it takes on a Mira Costa squad full of pitching and power in a two-game series today and Friday.

And El Camino plays Cerritos today before a two-game showdown against Long Beach on Thursday and Saturday with first place in the South Coast Conference on the line. It should be a great week of baseball in the South Bay. Hope to see you at the ballpark.

Dave Thorpe

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports for more than two years.
